    I keep seeing evidence that the rich don’t give 1% of a shit about the rest of us, but I keep sending myself “thoughts and prayers” that that’s not totally true and we don’t have an open class war going on in the US.

    I have also spent a lifetime trying to reconcile religious identities in groups being a pretty big part of the problem, too. It just seems to be getting worse all the time.

    This place only ever feels even remotely like a democracy when we have an election, and the candidates that go into elections are seldom interested in the wellbeing of the people, so its not really much of a choice anyway.

    We seem to become a country more like Russia, and a people more like Russians all the time.

    Not sure what to do about it except to find a way to move to a more civilized place, if they will take me.
